NEEDS

needs are a continent
or perhaps better
a field

honesty
overlaps integrity
and awareness

which relates to spirit
which is also about well-being
and love

sensual experience too
affects abundance
by way of magnetism

and what of birdsong
moonrises
Rumi's indulgences

of the joy in labor
strength
contribution
community

it is a broad field
and as you see

goes by many names

this is the field I would like to meet you in

certainly and far
beyond right and wrong

the essence of the experience of this field is to me bliss
far beyond nonviolence
yet arising from just this

commitment to life
